Everybody has experienced the pain
and annoyance of something getting
into the eye. In the majority of cases
if the sufferer has the patience to close
the eye gently, and keep it immovably
closed for from five minutes to !. q
quarter of an hour, the offending par
ticle will be painlessly and safely
washed away by the tears which the
eye will naturally shed.

THE anniversary of the Mecklenburg

THE anniversary of the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence was cele-
brated at Charlotte, N. c., on May 20.
President Cleveland was invited to be
present at the celebration He could
not attend, but he sent the committee
on invitations letter, in which he
said Among the many significant
incidents which preceded the formation
of the present Government, few were
more important or conspicuous than
the bold and resolute stand taken by
the people of Mecklenburg County.
In the midst of uncertainties and
wavering opinions their courage and
convictions led them to take q step
which attests their strength Of charac-
ter and sincerity of purpose. The an
niversary of this declaration of indie
pendence will, I trust, be always cele-
brated."

In republishing the suggestions in a
late issue of the Manufacturers Record
regarding the Importance of Southern
towns advertising their advantages,
the Atlanta Constitution adds the very
good advice that these towns should
also be prepared to show something
besides natural resources and advant-
ages. GOOD drainage, good streets,
and good cou ltry roads" says that
journal, are Indispensable. When a
town is making progress in these
matters it can advertise itself with
some confidence. Outsiders will not
come in to build up town when there
is no disposition on the part Of the cit
liens to build it up themselves. The
truth of this is so self evident that it
would hardly seem necessary to urge
its acceptance, but there is undoubted-
much need to impress these points
upon all Southern towns and cities.
"Good drainage, good streets and good
country roads are indispensable" and
they will exert a powerful influence
in behalf of every place having these
advantages, and the lack of them will
do great harm to a place that is SC
improvident as not to secure these es.

A WRONG CHARGE.

Under this caption the able editor
of the Wilmington Star said in re-
cent issue of that paper
A school teacher at Jerusalem, n.
C. (perhaps it ought to be Virginia),
has written letter to the New York
Independent, in which he prophecies
that the Republicans will carry sew
eral Southern States. This is his in
dividual opinion. He knows no more
about it than any other country
school teacher, and he may be right
or he may be wrong in his vaticina
ton. It is certain he gives poor
reason for his prophecy of evil, be-
cause it is not founded in fact, when
he says that +" the refusal of the Dem
ocratic House even to consider mea-
sures of revenue REFORM, after hav-
ing announced it as a fundamental
principle of the party in four national
conventions, will produce an indifer
ence among the rank and file of Dem
ocratic voters that will be disastrous
to party success
It is apparent that Mr.. Hodges does
not read the newspapers. Has he not
heard of the Randallites in Congress,
and how they checkmated the true
Democrats in their efforts to bring
about solid revenue reform? Has
he not heard how both President
Cleveland and Secretary Manning
were urgent in their recommendation
of reform? Has he not heard how the
true Democrats in both Houses were
united in their efforts to reduce the
Tariff and thus reduce the surplus?
Has he not heard how the Republicans
almost to man resisted all efforts in
this direction, and how they were
aided and abetted by squad Of So
called Democrats It is the Rnpub-
licans and not the Democrats who are
to be blamed tor the failure to econ
slider or secure measures of revenue
REFORM He ought to know that the
Republicans had pledged themselves
to bring about needed revenue reform,
&c, and that they forgot it all when
the Democrats endeavored to redeem
the pledges and save the taxpayers
from needless robbery. Mr.. Hodges
ought to know all this.
Mr.. Hodges turns on little light
at one point. He says that times are
worse in the South, especially in the
cotton and tobacco area True.
But who is to blame for it? The
great War Tariff is on the country as
an incubus. If this Republican in
strument of oppression and " robbery
is really such good and wise arrange
ment how comes it to pass that times
are so hard? Mr.. Hodges ought to

ENTERPRISE IN BUSINESS.

At no time in the history of the
world has the spirit of enterprise been
so indispensable an element in business
as at the present day.
A recent writer in the american
Magazine says that the times when
man could get rich by Flooding on,
without enterprise and without taxing
his brains, have gone by. Mere in
dustry and economy are not enough in
modern times there must be intelli-
gence and original thought. Every
avenue of business is crowded, and as
soon as it becomes known that one
man has made a success by one method
there are scores Of eager aspirants
ready to try the successful plan. The
business man using those tactics sane
toned by usage almost invariably in
vites defeat, and it is not long before
he ascertains the important fact that
one, in order to succeed in these times
of originality and fierce competition in
every circle, must keep abreast of the
times, and, if possible, ahead of them.
All professions and callings are each
day receiving new additions to their
ranks of men bold in idea and keen
in foresight. Men are no longer look
ing for markets where they may dis
pose of their goods to the best advant-
age, but are making them for them
selves The American business man
may not lay claim to mis- knowledge of
literature and the fine arts, but what
is of infinitely more value to him, he
knows his trade and his men. He
may be slow at logic, but he darts at
chances. He shapes himself to every
exigency, and is continually switching
into new tracks. In no country is the
red-tapist so out of place as in Amer
lea, and it is Il bright omen for the
future of our land that this is true
To the spirit Of enterprise, more than
to any other element in business life,
has been due that rapid progress of
America that has placed all the insti-
tutions of our country so far above
those of any nation in the world.
And nothing should prove more
healthful or more stimulating to the
young man entering into commercial
life than this condition of affairs. The
spirit of the times demands of him
that he must from the very start be
alert to discover new ways in business,
and find new methods by which under
takings can be carried out a hundred
times quicker than year ago.
A safe policy for adoption in modern
times is to stick to the old method as
the right policy, so long as no better
way presents itself But when that
new way is discovered, haste should
be made to improve it. Men are no
longer made, as in times of old, but
make themselves by their own efforts
and energies. True enterprise is con-
stantly on the alert to discover some
new want of society, some fertile
source of profit or honor some unex.
plored avenue of business, and is ready
to supply the one or take advantage
Of the other.

had not yet decided upon a name for his
paper, picked up handful of ''pi" from the
imposing stone, and set the type thus taken at
random N his composing stick. The result
was the word ''jimplecute," which he adopted
as the name for the newspaper.-N. Y Sun
